Managing Broadcasts

After a stream ends, it does not just disappear. TribeNest keeps a record of your broadcasts so you can review what happened, check performance, and manage your stream history.

View Past Broadcasts

1. Go to Live Streaming in your dashboard sidebar.
2. Click on the Broadcasts or History tab.
3. You will see a list of all your past streams, with the most recent at the top.

Each broadcast entry shows:

• Title — The name you gave the stream.
• Date and time — When the stream took place.
• Duration — How long the stream lasted.
• Destinations — Which platforms you streamed to.
• Status — Whether the stream ended normally or had issues.

Broadcast Details

Click on any past broadcast to see its full details. This includes:

Stream Summary

An overview of the broadcast including the title, description, start and end times, total duration, and which channels received the stream.

Performance Metrics

Depending on the platforms you streamed to, you may see metrics like:

• Peak concurrent viewers — The highest number of people watching at the same time.
• Total views — How many people watched any portion of the stream.
• Chat messages — The number of messages sent during the stream.

These numbers help you understand how engaged your audience was and whether your stream is growing over time.

Managing Your Broadcast History

Search and Filter

If you have many past broadcasts, use the search bar to find a specific one by title. You can also filter by date range to narrow down the list.

Delete a Broadcast Record

If you want to remove a broadcast from your history:

1. Click on the broadcast.
2. Click the options menu.
3. Select Delete.
4. Confirm the deletion.

Ending a Stream Properly

When you end a stream from the studio, TribeNest automatically:

• Disconnects from all streaming destinations.
• Saves the broadcast record to your history.
• Finalizes any metrics and analytics.

If your stream ends unexpectedly (for example, due to a lost internet connection), TribeNest will still save the broadcast record. The status may show as "Interrupted" rather than "Completed."

If a Stream Gets Stuck

In rare cases, a stream may show as still active even though you have stopped broadcasting. If this happens:

1. Go to Live Streaming in your dashboard.
2. Find the active stream.
3. Click End Stream to force it to stop.
4. The broadcast will be saved to your history.

Tips for Building a Stream Habit

• Stream on a regular schedule — Consistency helps fans know when to tune in. Even once a week or twice a month builds an audience over time.
• Review your past broadcasts — Look at which streams got the most viewers and engagement. This tells you what your audience enjoys most.
• Promote your next stream — After ending a broadcast, use your email list and social media to let fans know when you will be live again.
• Try different formats — Mix up your streams with performances, Q&As, behind-the-scenes sessions, and casual hangouts to keep things fresh.
